While the Illinois Supreme Court on Thursday denied the ability for individuals to get public records about their Firearm Owners ID card revocation or denial, a board is set up to field appeals of such actions. During a recent Senate hearing, FOID Card Review Board member Erin Alexander said they field appeals from those with revoked or denied cards. Among the information they review comes from law enforcement reports, criminal histories and even letters from those being denied.
ISP recently said they’ve denied or revoked more than 4,000 FOID cards based on clear and present danger reports. While the review board has worked through a fraction of those cases where appeals have been filed, review board member Ramone Moore said they continue to meet more frequently.
The FOID card faces state and federal constitutional challenges arguing it infringes on the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
